Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Holt, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Holt jobs, most customers book the pair in spring and fall, when the seasonal buildup and leaves have finished coming down.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and oversized panes take more care. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because cleaning solutions do not remove it. Gutters and downspouts cleared, screens rinsed and sills wiped are all part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On a Holt house we also look at the pollen film on the glass and the paste in the gutters, because a house with heavy buildup needs more than a quick pass. Our crew checks the picture windows and the sills on the same visit so nothing is missed. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time, because the gutters never get the chance to pack solid.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. We will come back with the price for both jobs, and the crew confirms it when they arrive. Ask for a written estimate if you want the figures in writing before you book.

For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
On our Holt jobs most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense. Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that sits in the runs and leaves clogged gutters overflowing in the rain. Storm and wind seasons, especially severe thunderstorms across Michigan, can move the dates for either visit.
Some Holt houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, so those homes are on every three to four months. A house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass gets spots that come back a day after we clean them, and those need the mineral treatment on top of the regular visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction gets more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters, and it needs the same extra visit.
Gutter cleaning services and professional window cleaning are both part of one visit with us, so you do not need two different companies for window cleaning services. We also handle the outside of the windows on multi-story buildings and condos, which is common in parts of Holt. Window cleaners who only do the glass often skip the gutters, and that is why water damage shows up later.
You will know windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low, and gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
We clean the gutters and exterior windows across the Holt area, and we schedule service around the two busy windows of the year, when the seasonal buildup and the leaves come down and our calendar fills. Book early in those months if you want a specific day.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text, give us the number of stories and a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you the number and the lead time on the phone. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Our window and gutter cleaning covers every window on the outside of the house, including the upper stories done from the pole, the sills, and the frames. Residential and commercial addresses both fit the same route, and residential window jobs and residential properties are handled the same way. We aim to leave clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit, so you do not have to book a second day for the other job.
Yes, the same two people handle both washing services on our jobs. The gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last, so nothing from the roof runs back onto clean windows.
We give the number on the phone or by text once we know the stories and the approximate window count. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes. The outside gets rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so keeping interior and exterior glass on separate schedules works fine, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal.
Most of our Holt customers book in spring and in fall, and those are the months our calendar fills. Book early if you want a particular day.
Not on our jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, because the grit and black water from a cleared run come down the wall and across any window below it. That way the crew does not have to remove dirt from the same glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned with the frames on the same visit, and none of this is billed as an extra.
No. The price covers exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of the visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
